Library Looks Toward RNC In St. Paul

ST. PAUL (AP) ― Even the St. Paul Public Library is getting into the political act as the Republican National Convention approaches.

The library will host political analyst Mark Halperin on Monday and pundit Susan Estrich on Tuesday to talk about the election.

Both events will be held at Metropolitan State University as part of the library's political series.

Dozens of political commentators are expected to descend on the Twin Cities for the September convention in St. Paul.

Halperin covers politics for Time magazine and has written two books on the presidential election.

Estrich was the first woman to run a presidential campaign 20 years ago. She teaches at the University of Southern California Law School and wrote a book on Hillary Clinton's candidacy.

According to GOP.com, the Republican Party was born in the early 1850's by anti-slavery activists and individuals who believed that government should grant western lands to settlers free of charge. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected as the first Republican Party president.
